At the funeral of Ronald Reagan, his son Michael described the greatest gift a child can receive:<\/p>\n
I was so proud \u2026 to be Ronald Reagan\u2019s son. What a great honor. He gave me a lot of gifts as a child\u2014a horse, a car, a lot of things. But there\u2019s a gift he gave me that I think is wonderful for every father to give every son.\u2026<\/p>\n
Last Saturday, \u2026 when he closed his eyes, that\u2019s when I realized the gift that he gave to me, the gift that he was going to be with his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He had, back in 1988 on a flight from Washington, D.C., to Point Mugu, told me about his love of God, his love of Christ as his Savior. I didn\u2019t know then what it all meant. But I certainly, certainly know now.<\/p>\n
I can\u2019t think of a better gift for a father to give a son. And I hope to honor my father by giving my son, Cameron, and my daughter, Ashley, that very same gift he gave to me. I know where my father is this very moment; that he is in heaven. I can only promise my father this: \u201cDad, when I die, I will go to heaven, too. And you and I and my sister, Maureen, who went before us, will dance with the heavenly host of angels before the presence of God. We will do it melanoma- and Alzheimer\u2019s-free.\u201d<\/p>\n
